A week and a half ago, Eva and I bid farewell to the five foot pile of snow in our front yard and headed West for a balmy vacation in Seattle. Matt flew out and met us a few days later. The Pacific Northwest is having the warmest winter on record, which sounded more appealing than [...] We flew to Seattle on Thanksgiving morning – it was wonderful to have a relatively quiet airport experience and fly on a half full plane. If you look at our pictures, it looks like all we did that weekend was bathe and feed a baby… well, maybe that’s kind of accurate. There were so many [...] November was a great month. I could write ten entries about November and still have more to say. But now it’s snowing and I’m excited about Christmas, so I’ll write just one. We started out with a trip to Northern California at the end of October to visit my mom’s side of the family. While we [...] I love generation photos – and by some miracle we’re all smiling in this one. You don’t know how unusual that is for this particular group. I’m not sure when I’ll get through the other 413 (!) pictures from our trip to Northern California, as it’s NaNoWriMo time now, but I’ll post a few on the [...] A few weeks ago Matt, Eva, and I flew up to Albany for an event at RPI, Matt’s alma mater. Yes, we have returned to our former life as traveling fools. The flight up was a success, as you can see below.

I can’t think very hard about that. We got pregnant around the same time – she was three months ahead of me – but since we’re both new moms, we haven’t been able to fly for months, and just [...] Sunday was a great day. Matt spent most of the day reading his school book, but how hard is that when studying looks like this? We spent time with Grandma and Grandpa (my parents) and Uncle Austin. Eva can only hope she inherited these eyes: Eva had a great time meeting her cousins. By my count, she [...] Four generations of Mootharts with two Louises! We flew out to the LA area Labor Day weekend. It was Eva’s first trip and the first step toward our goal of having a travel baby. I think it went well – Eva hardly cried on the first flight, and didn’t cry at all on our return. She had a meltdown or two on [...] Despite the incredible, unheard of week of snow in the Seattle area (it’s still coming down!), Matt and I managed to make it into town in Christmas Eve, and our plane even landed early. We were lucky, because here’s what the world looked like the next morning: We had a wonderful Christmas, indoors and out. The [...] |
